Default Check out the new wheels!! (56k beware!)

Well, I picked up some 97 Prelude wheels for free for a friend of mine. I decided to paint them black, since I really had nothing to loose. Let me know what you think!









Let me know what you guys think! I think it looks really good for free and about $20 worth of spray paint.

Hey this belongs in the Appearance Forum...danm N00bs and Ricers

J/P Ryan...I have to admit...*Not because others approve of it* they are pretty nice for what you got them for...I honestly thought it would look like ***...that's because you only gave me a closeup and not a full view. It gets my approval for daily beater wheels and other use.

~20lbs

One of the reasons you don't see more of them on the R's. They look great, but they weigh a ton.

Could you tell me the painting procedure? You took the tires off first, correct? I've been thinking about painting mine, but I don't want the wheels to get all screwed up when I have the tires mounted, balanced, etc. They look really good. Let me know the painting process. Thanks

No I don't like them. Not all black wheels are created equal and this picture post confirms it.
